The Story of Sweden

The Sweden we live in today is no accident. Visions, dreams, and political choices took a poor agricultural country on the edge of Europe and turned it into a global technology nation. But what really built Sweden—visions and political courage, or historical luck, good timing, and an unusually favorable environment?

In connection with the opening of the exhibition Drömlandet, we take the discussion further. In an age of artificial intelligence, climate crisis, and geopolitical unrest, we ask the question: do we still live on visions – or on a legacy we no longer really understand? Welcome to a conversation about the Swedish self-image and whether we still dare to dream about the future.
